Meet, Learn and Collaborate: SAFER Thursday Lunch Seminars 2026
We are pleased to share the program for the SAFER Thursday Lunch Seminars during autumn 2026!
The seminars are a valued meeting place within the SAFER community, bringing together partners from academia, industry, and society to exchange knowledge, discuss emerging challenges, and explore new opportunities for collaboration. Whether you are looking for inspiration for future research, insights from ongoing projects, or opportunities to connect with new partners, the Thursday Lunch Seminars offer a unique forum for dialogue and knowledge sharing.
